Video and pictures of Transall C-160 approached the Ballenstedt airfield in Saxony-Anhalt, central Germany. It landed short and almost took out plane spotters taking pictures. (www.dailymail.co.uk) 更多...

I first thought this a duplicate squawk- but it's from a different perspective. The C-160's last flight certainly demonstrated the its rough-field capability! Now, if we can just get some pics by the spotters under the starboard engine......

I gots a stupid question? How come we get all the SQUAWKS posted here that say Duplicate squawk, yet I went to post one last week and it told me that "This URL has already been posted" or something to that effect. How can somebody post a duplicate?

It all depends on WHO the pilot is. Policics is not limited to the home country. Last flight or not, you and I probably would be investigated. His first name is probably proceeded by a title like Baron, at least. The pilot is lucky the left landing gear stayed in place. Looks like he dispaced a half a cubic yard of dirt before he hit the edge of the pavement and base of the roadway. Never flew the 160 but it must be one tough bird.

Airplane doesn't care if a pilot is a "she", "he", or "other". It's all about flying. If she could not make out that runway, in that weather, she should have gone around. Darn it but I wish it hadn't been a "she".

This shows why people never should be allowed to stand at the end of a runway. Bit like letting people standby in the run off on a regular racetrack. Great when nothing happens but what if.... At least no one hurt and they can't be allowed to complain, they should know better.
